U2 #1 with One


The BBC reports that a line from U2’s One topped the charts as the number one lyric this year in a VH1 poll.
The song was originally released in 1992 – and the CD single was the first CD I ever bought.
It was number 7 on the UK charts when released and the latest rendition, with Mary J Blidge went to number 2.
Top 5 Lyrics:

1. U2 – One. “One life, with each other, sisters, brothers.”
2. The Smiths – How Soon is Now? “So you go, and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die.”
3. Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit. “I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us.”
4. Bob Marley – Redemption Song. “Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds, have no fear for atomic energy, ’cause none of them can stop the time.”
5. Coldplay – Yellow. “Look at the stars, look how they shine for you.”

Evil Evil prank call

Check this out.
When you click on the website, you type in your friend’s phone number, fill in a brief word or two about them (i.e. location, birthdate, age or whatever), tell the system what you want it to say, and then a link will be created for your friend.
Once they click on it, a ring-esque video will play and their phone will be called right away and the message will be delivered.
Freaky. I tried it on myself.

Simply genious (if you’re into that sort of prank call).
